Nasi lemak: a much-loved Malay dish of rice cooked in coconut milk. It’s crowning glory? Sambal chilli paste. Now, for the first time in human history, Amin's making the sambal for Daddy's nasi lemak. Garlic and the other existing ingredients are psyched! But when Shallot and other newcomers arrive, mayhem begins... Can Amin unite them to make the perfect sambal? Luckily, his trusty cat Tiger is here to help!

A hilarious ode to Southeast Asian cuisine with graphic novel vibes, funny food fights (inspired by an Indonesian folktale, "Shallot and Garlic"), and le sous chef cat (inspired by my own, who I wish could actually cook).

Includes backmatter on nasi lemak, sambal and Southeast Asian ingredients.
